Hello you beauties!

Now that we're into August I really do feel like summer is here so what I wanted to do today is share with you my summer bucket list. It's my first summer with my boyfriend and despite us both having to work, we both plan on having amazing adventures and days together so I wanted to think of a few ideas for us to do.

1. Go on a picnic
2. Go on a cinema date
3. Spend more time with my friends
4. Do plenty of shopping for university!
5. Work hard to save money for university!
6. Have a movie night
7. Pull an all nighter
8. Watch a sunset
9. Go on many walks to anywhere
10. Party with my friends before we all get separated for uni

Obviously there are many things I will also be doing that aren't on this list but these are just a few things I am hoping to do this summer.

What are your plans/hopes for this summer?

I'll be back next week with another post for you all.
Byeee!

Hello you beauties.

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's 2017 already. I'll be 20 this year, this is so crazy! It is also my 100th post today (I am so happy this special number landed at the turn of a new year) which I am so happy about, I can't believe I've managed to keep this blog up and running for so long already.

While I'm not really the person to make New Years Resolutions, I do have my aims for the year which I try my best to work towards and achieve by the end of the year. So basically the same thing but I try to make them as realistic as possible. I usually only try and give myself just one or two goals for the year. Some things that I know I could achieve if I really really tried.

1. Get healthier
Not necessarily lose weight as such (even though that would be great) but just genuinely getting healthier. Cutting down on the bad foods and drinks and getting some more exercise into my day each day. I've actually already started this. I've been known to have the bad habit of drinking way too many fizzy soda drinks (such as coke and lemonade) so now I drink mainly water with my meals and in between meals. And if I fancy a bit of extra flavour, I drink flavoured water or squash. I feel healthier already and my skin is starting to feel great too.

2. Get A Level results I can be proud of
I've mentioned a couple of times that I've struggled a bit with my A Levels over the past few years, so I would love to be able to finally get good A Level results and get off to uni like I've always wanted to.

3. Move to Brighton
This has been a dream of mine for many, many years now and 2017 is the year it is finally (hopefully) going to come true. As far as I know, in September I will start studying at the University of Brighton and I cannot wait to live in such a beautiful city and study what I love.

So it's only a few things, but these are definitely the things that I want to happen so badly in my life. Please share with me your aims and goals for 2017, I would love to hear them!

I'll be back tomorrow with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

With winter basically here (although the winter solstice isn't until the 21st December), I thought it'd only be right to decide on my plans for the winter months, especially the build up to Christmas.

1. Build a snowman
I have built a snowman before (one towering over me at 6 foot tall!) but over the past couple of years, Nottingham really has been lacking snow. I would love to be able to build a snowman again this year and act like a little kid for just half an hour.

2. Bake mince pies
Winter is my favourite time of the year for baking, as everything can be so festive if you want it to be. While a lot of people hate them, mince pies are one of my favourite Christmassy foods, and they taste even better if they're homemade.

3. Bake Christmas cookies/cupcakes
This links back with my previous one. I love baking, and so I would love to bake something festive to share with friends and family.

4. Make homemade hot chocolate
Hot chocolate is literally the only hot drink I like, and with the weather cooling down dramatically, I have been drinking more and more of it. I have always wanted to make my own hot chocolate, and so I will try and do that this winter.

5. Watch loads of Christmas films
There are so many out there, that it's almost impossible to watch every Christmas film over the whole of winter. I'm going to try and watch as many as I can though, as these are the things that make me feel the most festive.

6. Go sledging
We've never really had enough snow in the easily accessed areas for me in Nottingham for me to go sledging before, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. So this winter I am hoping it snows enough for me to finally be able to do this classic winter activity.

7. Go to a Christmas market
There's nothing better than basically being surrounded by Christmas. Nottingham always has its own 'Christmas market' during November and December so I will probably have a look round there whilst I am Christmas shopping, but this winter I would also love to go to a Christmas market in Germany - I heard they're great.

8. Go to a Christmas lights switch on
I love Christmas lights in city/town centres, but unfortunately I don't really get to go anymore as they're usually on on Saturday nights and I usually work Saturday nights. But this year I am hoping to go to at least 1 Christmas lights switch on (and hope that they don't set off too many fireworks).

9. Decorate for Christmas
This is something that will never change. I ALWAYS have to decorate for Christmas. It's not Christmas if you're not basically drowning in decorations all the time.

10. Spend more time with my family
This is probably the most important thing I want to do this winter. Between blogging, college and work, I hardly see my family anymore. So I am going to take advantage of this festive period to spend some quality time with my parents, dog and brother.

I would love it if you would share your amazing plans/wishes for winter with me.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.
